90 Gallon Tank Dwarf Cichlid options?

  • #1
I'm planning out a stocking list for a 90G planted tank and was wondering what kind of dwarf cichlids I should look for to add to my stocking.

So far I was thinking:

4 angelfish
12 medium-large tetras (I'm thinking something like congo tetras)
6 denison barbs
15-20 corydoras aldolfoi (Or similar warm water species)

I want to add a few dwarf cichlids to finish off the stocking. I just need them to be fine with the other fish, not tear up the plants and be relatively common (Don't have many LFS, hard to find some fish)
Anders247? I know you know a lot about dwarf cichlids.

Rainbow cichlids, Rams, Laetacara, Nannacara, Pelvicachromis sp, Nanochromis, or Apistogrammas that prefer higher temps.
Also, if you want a peaceful cichlid, not necessarily small, then blue acaras would be nice, as would the other species in Archocentrus (I read they're peaceful).

The blue acaras are pretty cool. I like that they get on the larger side so they won't be the same size as the tetras. Otherwise I like the apistos, rams and rainbow cichlids.

How are blue acaras with planted tanks? I read that they do some digging but otherwise don't really harm the plants much.

I don't know much about them other than that they are peaceful, but I think Vyvid has one in a planted tank.

The festivum or "flag cichlid" is a peaceful and active community cichlid. Definitely get a couple festivums. Kribs are cool and colorful but only get one! A group of rams (blue and bolivian) would look nice with the cories, and imo sterbaI cories look best. And what about GOURAMIS, theyre always colorful

Gouramis aren't cichlids... And the OP has already decided to go with a 75 gallon peacock/Haps tank so this thread is pretty much void.

Right.. I'm going to go ahead and close this thread since it's now irrelevant.

On a side note, I'm still torn on what I'm going to do regarding the price of the peacocks. I'm going to see what my LFS can get in for me before I make any order online. The LFS is going to give me a good deal but I'll sit there watching the fish for a while to make sure they are all healthy and active.
